THE ZAHL FILE: REPORT FROM THE ROAD — MAKING WAVES, MODEST WAVES

On his recent trip to the area around Paducah, Kentucky, Paul Zahl hired a guide, Jeff Earp, to show him the mysteries of Reelfoot Lake.  He writes:

Our boat had to go very slowly because of the underwater stumps.  At
least ten times we collided with them, and once we almost went into the
lake.  I think I could go slow on Reelfoot Lake forever.
